We were disappointed to find the castle was closed but the walled garden made up for it .. covered in flowers from end to end you could tell a lot of time and care was given to every bed. And we would drive out there again just to see the beautiful sweet peas, endless roses and every color of the rainbow Dalia’s…. What a sight to see

Access to the inside of the castle is via guided tour only. Our guide Reece was excellent, articulate, informative, interesting and was able to all questions. This is a very old castle with an interesting history. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. There are approx 30 steps up and then same to go down. In some of the rooms there were 1-3 chairs available for those needing to rest their legs (I mention this as I need to rest at times and some castles we visited have no seats available). There is a cafe, small gift shop on site. We did not visit the gardens due to timing but would like to.

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon visit to Drum Castle. Immaculate grounds, reasonably priced refreshments and a fantastic play area for children. The highlight of our visit was the excellent tour of the castle by Reece who shared so much of the history of the place and its artefacts, as he guided us through each room. Sadly we didn't get to see the rose gardens as they shut at 4p.m. A truly memorable visit while on holiday in Aberdeenshire.

The walled garden is simply stunning. So worth going slightly out of our way on our way up north to see this. I imagine it is equally as impressive at other points in the year but August was awash with colour in the gardens. Did not visit the castle as it was such a nice day we wanted to stay outside. Really recommend.

Brilliant lovely visit staff friendly. Guide very good . Tea room staff lovely Thoroughly enjoyed or time spent here national trust membership well worth getting .
